Our tour guide name is Kheng Thim I think. He is 21 years old and speaks very good English. He is cute too ;) He said that Kriss and I look like Cambodian, cause both of us half Chinese and half Thai. We chat with others along the way. It was a bumpy ride, they called it the "Dancing Road". Everybody hold on to the truck, cause if you let go, you might fell off the truck!! Ohh... Ouch.... My butt hurts a lot!

Things start getting worst when it started to rain. It's raining reason in Cambodia. We need to change three trucks along the trip due to a broken bridge and a really bad road conditions.

It started to rain very hard when we reach the broken bridge. We have to cross the river by walking on the cement path. Meanwhile the water level is rising. I am so scared that I might fall into the river cause my backpack was so heavy and I can't balance myself. My big mistake! I  should not have bring too much stuff. Thank God I manage to cross the river safely. We change truck. At this moment the rain is getting heavier now, I can hear the thunder roar. But we still have to continue our journey. I am cold and hungry and I am having the time of my life! Wow!

Cambodia has miles and miles of paddy fields. The land is flat and you can see it very far till the horizon. The paddy fields are much more bigger then those in Kedah, Malaysia. The truck pass along small villages. Children smiling and waving at us, saying "Hello.....". We waved back to them too. It's a wonderful experience I ever have before, it's like back in time like the pre war time my mom used to tell me.

We stop at a small stall for dinner at 6.00pm. All of us have our dinner there except the Koreans and the Georgian guy. The three of us sit together with Kheng Thim and our truck driver. We had rice and fried vegetable. It coast 50 Thai Baht for three person. We rest for a while before continue our journey. The village children are friendly and curious to to know the "strangers" in their village. I give them some packets of biscuits and take picture together with them before we go. Everybody were in the truck and it's time to go. We waved to them again and say "Bye Bye" with a smile :)

It's a red earth road and not tar road to Siem Reap. The road condition was worst when raining. It's about 8.00pm when we stop for the second time to change truck again. It's totally darkness here and I can only see flashes of touch light. I was told to becarefull because there are huge pot holes everywhere. Kheng Thim told us that we can walk or take a boat to the other side of the road. Unfortunately there's no boat tonight, so we all walk across the mud. This is the best part of my adventure. I am so clumsy, I fell into the mud hole two times. It's very deep and scared the hell out of me! Luckily Kheng Thim pull me out. It's very slippery to walk and everybody walk very fast because afraid to be left behind. Everybody made it safely to the other side. I am glad that's over. What can go wrong now?

The second truck haven't arrive yet. So we can't do anything but wait. It's been one hour now. We are in the middle of nowhere and it's raining. There are lots of people stranded there too, lorries and pick-up trucks. Anything can happen, we might get rob or kill. Thank God nothing happen to us that night. The situation begins to get tense now when the truck haven't come yet. There's a pick-up truck which offer to take us to Siem Reap if each of us pay 50 Thai Baht. Everybody agrees and we jump into the truck. We are pack like sardine because there are more than 20 persons in that truck. Half way the journey, our Sara Tour truck came. We change truck again. Only the Koreans stay on the first truck while the rest of us follow the Sara Tour truck. That's the last time we saw the Koreans. That's not much people sitting at the back of the pick-up truck, just the three of us, the Canadian couple and Kheng Thim. So it's more comfortable.

11.30pm, we arrive at Siem Reap finally. Wow.. it's a long and tough journey. Yes.. and we made it! I think it's a great achievement to go to Cambodia  in the raining season and through Poipet. This journey makes me realized that the Khemers are really tough people, this is a hard land and I really respect them.

The truck take us to the Siem Reap & Angkor Guess House. The guess house people treat us very nice. They even bring a chair for me to come down from the truck. They know we are very tired, hungry, cold, scared and angry. I am shock and start laughing when I saw myself soaking wet and cover with mud! What a journey.

The three of us decided to spend a night there and move to Naga Guess House the next morning cause it's much cheaper there. After taking a shower and clean myself up, Kriss and I went down to eat something. We chat with the guess house people. They are curious to know which country Kriss and I come from. They said that we look like Cambodian. We had fried rice (cost USD1) and chat with Kheng Thim. He looks handsome after shower. I can't even recognized him! He is a nice guy. He follow the truck to Poipet and back again to Siam Reap two times a day. Wow....! Tough guy huh. Time to go to sleep now. Tomorrow we will spend our time exploring Siem Reap town.
